Detroit has been arguably the NBA's best story so far this season. With road wins at Golden State, Oklahoma City and now Boston the Pistons have shown the ability to beat the NBA's best teams in a hostile environment. Now Detroit has some rest and gets to face a Phoenix squad on a back-to-back with a small amount of travel. We like the hosts to roll to a blowout win at Little Caesars Arena.
